RE: T-stat question

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think I have a by-pass hose on my 383, I'll go out and check the 
318 polly.

I don't recall the size of holes I drilled but I go small, when I change 
antifreez or have it drained to work on it I want to be able to fill it 
without problems.  I drill holes in all thermstats unless they have a 
good vent.
